He wasn’t great yesterday but not many were. Not many hit the heady heights of average tbf.
He’s got some miles on the clock this season, next season is about coaching. What can he learn? How can he improve his game on the ball?
With the confidence from this season, if he’s also coachable and can develop that side, he’ll be a midfield dynamo.

Not that there’s even a big difference ffs, I don’t even dislike him v happy to keep him actually just sign me a proper cm please
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Lots to work with. I just don't think we have the management structure and patience to do it with him. Or many of the younger players it looks like.
The issue is he doesn't have a baller next to him. All our midfielders seem to do a variant of the same thing and the ones that don't (KDH) aren't really up the level of baller either.

I’d sell them all and pay Bernardo Silva £500k a week for two seasons just to see someone control and pass the ballBumble wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2026 12:35 pm Lots to work with.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
We just need a proper ball player to balance the midfield.
Garner and Iroegbunam have already shown PL quality, Röhl and Armstrong look likely to get to that level as well.
The problem is that they’re all varying degrees of all-action midfielders who put a lot of work in and use the ball simply. Garner has shown a bit more at times but not enough to suggest he can run the game with the ball at his feet.
Add that one player plus a couple of new fullbacks and every other aspect of the squad starts looking a lot better.
Fail to get those three players in and we’re in for more of the same inconsistency.
